The Counts Car Show is always a huge event in Rapid City. This year was no different. The Mustang Club of Sturgis had 14 cars represented and took several trophies home for bragging rights. Looks like this year is going to be a banner year for the club and the Rally (Held Labor Day weekend in Sturgis, SD).

Sunday August 30 the club tested the route for the 2009 Rally Poker Run. The route took us through Sturgis, Deadwood, Hill City, Keystone, Silver City and Rapid City via Vanocker Canyon, Boulder Canyon and Needles Highway with lunch at the Gaslight in Rockerville. Thanks Butch for setting up this great run I am sure the participants in this years Rally will love it.

Well only a few weeks away from the 2009 Sturgis Mustang Rally. I for one am so excited, I have been waiting since last year for this. I was at Sturgis Dragway today and they are all fired up for our Rally too. I have volunteered to be a judge at the Rally this year which I am excited about (any bribes will be accepted, just kidding) but it will give me the chance to see some of the participants cars up close and personal. Well hope to see you all at the Rally and help make this year the biggest yet. See you all in a couple weeks. Get em shined up and reved up the rally is gonna be great.

The club was well represented at the show this year. One thing I learned is not to let Ken sell or get anywhere near ladies buying t-shirts (sorry Ken I couldn't resist). We all had a great time and met many new friends and even picked up a few new club members.
